Have you ever considered why we have so many more prisoners per capita than any other country in the western world? It's not because our population is more evil than everywhere else's. No, there are two possibilities: either (a) other countries are failing to incarcerate a lot of people who deserve it, or (b) we are incarcerating a whole bunch of people who don't deserve it. Given that other countries don't seem to be overrun with criminals and lawlessness, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
Intelligence is a military function always has been.
Yeah, and according to the Constitution the entire Army is only supposed to be called up on an ad-hoc basis and disbanded after two years! So what's your point?
Not to mention, at what point does a number being "interesting" stop being mathematics and start being numerology? I mean, are things like taxicab numbers and 'emirps' useful for anything?
It doesn't help that Clinton is power-hungry. Her support for the TPP is proof enough of that, let alone all the other pro-Wall-Street / anti-actual-people positions she's taken.
If someone's on disability they're already in the lowest bracket they can go.
No, in the year the $100K balance is forgiven then they have $100K of income and they're pushed into the 25-28% brackets (give or take filing status, other income, deductions and credits).
If it were anyone but the Left's best hope for the Presidency, she'd be in jail.
Bullshit. Clinton is the Beltway-insider-status-quo's best hope for the Presidency. The Left's best hope for the Presidency is Sanders, and failing to prosecute criminal sociopath Clinton is nothing less than a conscious effort to sabotage him.
No, you really don't get it. The more they can rile up their base with this sort of bullshit, the less people pay attention to the graft and corruption -- and even if they do notice, the less likely they are to care.
Take Jim-bob, bigoted voter: "Well, the Republican incumbent funneled $2M in state funds to his cousin last term, but at least he's against them goddamn gays that threaten my fragile masculinity so I'll vote for him anyway."
Additionally, the laser would not be on for much of the journey, only while accelerating to cruising speed.
If you're not planning to make the craft slow down on the other side, why not continually accelerate the entire journey to make it as quick as possible (assuming the efficiency doesn't drop below some minimum threshold partway through)?
What about single-family homes? My neighborhood has a significant number of old people with paid-off houses who get much less than $30K/year and can barely afford property tax, let alone Internet (or their grandchildren's bail and lawyers, but I digress). But it also has a significant number of $70K/year+ yuppies/hipsters, so the average household income might be more like $50K.
In Atlanta, I get Comcast internet at $20/month for 3Mbps. Downloads are slow, but it's fast enough for Youtube, Netflix and gaming. Although gigabit is tempting, I would have liked to keep paying $20/month (or less!).
I'll still switch to Google the nanosecond it becomes available, obviously, but I wish the "free after installation" tier were still going to be available.
Screw "all over the Internet;" it's easy enough to find them being said by the same idiot, during the same conversation, in sequence as each argument gets demolished.
Encryption was listed as a munition before. It can be again.
That could actually help more than it hurts. Second Amendment, bitch!
(Another reason everyone should support the entire Bill of Rights instead of trying to pick and choose... every single one of them is there for a damn good reason.)
No. What we need is a standard that isn't shitty or a trojan horse. Then all the other alleged-standards can fuck off and die. The XKCD invocation is invalid.
No shit, Sherlock. That's a tautology: "if you exclude all the unprocessed food, everything else is processed."
Still, skinning and cutting up a carcass is a lot less processing than a frozen TV dinner suffers (even an "organic" one), and is an acceptable trade-off in return for my not having to deal with things like feathers and digestive tracts.
The problem is processed foods, which tend have tons of salt added (for preservative purposes). Home cooking can easily be well-seasoned without actually containing excessive amounts of sodium.
Right. Instead, they reduce the proportion of calories that are digestible. In other words, fat people and skinny people both eat "too much" (in terms of theoretical chemical-energy calories), but the skinny person shits more of them out instead of absorbing them.
In all seriousness, converting integer bases is a lot easier than implementing Unicode.(Remember, Slashdot can't just plug in a library; they need to update the shitpost filters and whatnot too or else we're going to end up with a wide variety of goatse ASCII^Wunicode-art.)

Damn, I should have caught that.
And thus we reach the heart of the matter! Keeping the populous fearful and therefore unreasoning is the true purpose of these sorts of laws.

If the year of Linux on the desktop ever happens, it will be because of either Google (ChromeOS) or Valve (SteamOS).
I think you misspelled "... to strong-arm OEMs into installing it by default, to the exclusion of all other OSs."
That could actually help more than it hurts. Second Amendment, bitch!

The trouble is that (almost) all leaders are sociopaths, and naturally assume all people are like themselves.
That's why we all need to support things like Replicant

Yes. See AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, CompuCredit Corp. v. Greenwood, etc.
This is why Supreme Court justice appointments are important.
Raw ingredients don't have "manufacturers." If you think eating healthy means buying the hipster organic processed food, you're doing it wrong.
